Angular has its own module definitions.Directives and Services are great!

New technologies

Tasks

Yeoman is not only great for starting big projects.

Run a generator and get your modulestructure ready in a matter of seconds!

generator-nodegenerator-amdgenerator-angular

grunt-bumpgrunt-sg-release

npm publish / bower register

Once our package is published we can just install and use it.
